Russian forces launched an attack against Kherson on Jan. 24, hitting a hospital and injuring at least three medical workers, Governor Oleksandr Prokudin reported.

The building was hit around noon, resulting in damaged offices and broken windows, the governor noted.

A 60-year-old woman was also injured in today's attacks against the city. She was reportedly hospitalized with a leg wound and explosive injuries.

Earlier on Jan. 24, Russian aircraft struck the village of Novoberyslav, injuring a 59-year-old man and her 58-year-old wife, Pokudin said.
